In the past week, you have had the opportunity to read through articles written by Quench & Nourish student interns. We are so proud of their accomplishments, especially of their awareness of issues facing their communities, and their strong sense of ethics and compassion for humanity. At Quench & Nourish, we believe that educating and empowering the next generation is the key to addressing hunger relief and poverty, especially through peer education. We take comfort in knowing that we are equipping our youth with the tools they will need to contribute meaningfully to society, both locally and internationally.
